Veggie Breakfast Hash

Ingredients:

• 2 cups diced potatoes (you can use regular or sweet potatoes)

• 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (various colors)

• 1/2 cup diced onions

• 1/2 cup diced zucchini

• 1/2 cup diced mushrooms

• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

• Fried or poached eggs (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:

   • Dice the potatoes into small, evenly sized pieces. You can peel them if you prefer, or leave the skins on for added texture and nutrition.

   • Dice the bell peppers, onions, zucchini, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Set them aside.

2. Cook the Potatoes:

   • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

   • Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and paprika.

   • Cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes or until they become golden brown and tender. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning or sticking. If the potatoes are not cooking through, you can cover the skillet to help them soften.

3. Add Vegetables:

   • Once the potatoes are nearly done, add the diced bell peppers, onions, and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

4. Mushrooms and Tomatoes:

   • Add the diced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown.

5. Final Touch:

   • Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, just until they are heated through.

6. Garnish:

   • If desired, garnish the veggie hash with fresh parsley or chives for added flavor and freshness.

7. Serve:

   • You can serve the veggie breakfast hash as is or top it with fried or poached eggs for added protein and richness.
